Yesterday after work I hopped on a bus to get to Bangkok. It felt really weird to leave the centre after being there every single day for 2 weeks for a minimum of 10 hours a day including weekends. There was a mad panic to get work done, tests distributed and graded. On a side note, these kids are so unaccustomed to taking tests that they have no concept of cheating being right or wrong. In my level 5 class, 20/25 kids cheated and they cheated really obviously.
I'm meeting my sister here in Bangkok and going down south for the week. Unfortunately, an hour into the busride Anne-E called me to tell me she missed her flight. And while she'll still be coming, she'll be coming a day late. So I'm here. Just chillin by myself now. I'll probably giving a few of my friends in the area a call soon.
My cousin Clare had an accident just a couple of days ago, critically injuring her neck. i felt so relieved to hear that she had succesful surgery, though I know that the next many weeks and possibly months are going to be painful and a bit stressful. I'll be thinking of you.

Enjoy a day to yourself & then some time with Anne-E. Come home. You sound burnt.
Ugh! That's horrible about the cheating!
But I guess when you come right down to it, it's a tough concept to sell to someone who doesn't know about it. I mean, you ask for the information, I give it to you, does it matter where I've gotten it from?
Anne-E misse dher flight! Was her first one delayed or something?
Hang out. Have fun. Relax. Then come home and visit me. It's always relaxing here.
Hey! How's the coup going? Are you in charge now? Or maybe Anne-E? Bring me an elephant or a small child who likes to clean & live in a tiny NY apt!
